(1) All code was compiled with "-source 5" and
"-target 5" specified (this is the default). All tests use the
Java VM from Sun Microsystems (see
http://java.sun.com/). (2) Not all versions of Java support 64-bit systems. In the case of x86_64 systems only the most recent updates to Java 5 or Java 6 will work. Please see http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/system-configurations.html for more details. (3) $NMROOT/nxm/sys/cfg/build.props was modified to point to the Intel C/C++ compiler rather than the GNU C Compiler. (4) As of RHEL5u5, there is no standard 64-bit version of Mozilla Firefox available (it comes with the 32-bit version of Firefox). Oracle (formerly Sun Microsystems) suggests using the 32-bit (Java plugin) for Java applet support for 32-bit versions of Firefox. (5) Note: As of Firefox 3.6.x, the new (Next-Generation) Java plugin (included with Java 6 update 10 and later) must be used (i.e. $JAVAHOME/jre/lib/i386/libnpjp2.so) for Java applets to work. Please see http://www.java.com/en/download/faq/firefox_newplugin.xml for more details. Linux system, it will not work correctly!!! |

(Now includes the NeXtMidas Training Class and
an updated version of the NeXtMidas User's Guide.)
Escape Character Sequences in Tables and Results | - | --MAJOR CHANGE-- In NeXtMidas 2.9.0, the NeXtMidas macro language now handles escape characters, both in String results created at the command line and Tables created from Strings. The escape character is the backslash ("\"), which means that any String parsed as an Arg or a Table will have the backslashes treated as escapes, unless the backslash itself is escaped. This includes everything in a macro, since every line in a macro is parsed as a String prior to macro execution. The most likely negative impacts are to Windows users who create Windows path Strings using the backslash character as a directory separator. The new behaviour can be disabled using the ENV IOOPTION DisableEscapeSequences for args and the Table flag disableEscapeSequences, which can be set in ENV DEFAULTTABLEFLAGS. NOTE: The new behaviour is DISABLED by default, but will default to ENABLED in a future release. See Bug 2292 for details. |
BUILD | - | In NeXtMidas 2.9.2, cflags.<Shell.ostype>.append value is appended before the
native.<Shell.ostag>.cflags and native.<Shell.ostag>.cpp.comp flags for
C and C++, respectively when read from build.props. If your compiler flag must be at
the end (to have the highest precedence), add them to native.<Shell.ostag>.cflags.append
and/or native.<Shell.ostag>.cpp.comp.append property. The same applies for the lflags.<Shell.ostype>.append with respect to the linker flags, (add the highest precedence custom link flags to native.<Shell.ostype>.lflags.append and/or native.<Shell.ostype>.cpp.link.append). |
COMPARE | - | In NeXtMidas 2.9.2, COMPARE was updated to support comparing numeric SubRecords in record based data files (e.g. type 3000, 5000, 6000). See explain file for details. |
Convert | - | In NeXtMidas 2.9.0, the CSV2XML and TAB2XML conversions in the convert primitive were changed so that if a user does not specify an extension for the outut XML file, we will give that file a '.xml' extension. See Bug 1972 / GForge DR #524293-2 for details. |
DragBox | - | In NeXtMidas 2.9.0, the DragBox / Zoom return message was changed so that TMin is always the lesser value of TMin & TMax. This could have an adverse reaction on any macros or primitives that relied on those values being out of order. The previous settings can be found in the new values T1 ('top') and T2 ('bottom'). See Bug 2093 / GForge DR #525979-3 for details. |
Filter | - | In NeXtMidas 2.9.1, the FILTER command, located in the DSP option tree, was modified to more closely mimic TUNER. The filter.mm macro was replaced by a primitive, and certain filter parameters were deprecated in favor of the tuner equivalents. See Bug 2296 / GForge DR #529947-3 for details. |
Gcontrol | - | In NeXtMidas 2.9.1, changes were made to the GMenu class such that if a user program-atically sets a value of a Toggle that matches the text of a button, that button gets selected. Previously, it used a MASK value of that button. |
Plot | - | In NeXtMidas 2.9.3, significant changes were made to the Plot Canvas that was introduced in 2.9.2. Please see NMROOT/nxm/sys/test/test_plot_canvas.mm for example usage. |
Switch | - | In NeXtMidas 2.9.0, a switch such as
will now mean that the switch A has a value of the empty String. This is
a rare case and is not expected to impact users. See Bug 2285 for details.
|
THIN / DataFile Abscissa addressing | - | In NeXtMidas 2.9.1, using tilde (~) does abscissa only addressing for THIN. To use old legacy behavior use /ADDRESSING=ABSCISSA_LEGACY or /ABSC switches. See Bug 2195 for details. |
Classes removed | - | Deprecated classes that have been removed:
nxm.sys.intr.Popup -> use nxm.sys.prim.popup
|
Methods removed | - | Deprecated methods that have been removed:
nxm.sys.intr.Help.buildJavaHelpDatabase(String,String) -> no longer used
|
Commands | - | AUXILIARY - Added /SAVE and /LOAD switches which allow the current debug level to be stored and restored. Additionally, added support for X-Midas style negative WRITE auxes, which will write files to the WRITE aux even if a file with the same name exists in a READ aux. |
- | BUILD - Has been updated to allow specifying the C and C++ compiler via the NM_CC and NM_CXX OS environment variables, respectively. The NM_CC_OPTIONS and NM_CXX_OPTIONS OS environment can specify additional C and C++ compiler flags/options to be appended to what is defined in the build.props. | |
- | BUILD - Properties in build.props will have the values at property_name+".append"
and property_name+".<machine_architecure>bit" automatically appended (in
that order) during the BUILD, allowing option tree to specify 32-bit or 64-bit
specific compiler options, or just append to an existing property without having
to copy the value from SYS's build.props. Additionally, each property that ends with a ".prepend" will have it's value prepended to the property's value. Prepending is useful to override the native libraries to link via the -l<libname> linker flag, since most linkers search for libraries
in the order specified on the command line. For example, if the following is defined: native.lin.cflags.prepend = -DPREPEND_DEFINE native.lin.cflags.append = -DMY_APPEND_DEFINE native.lin.cflags.append.32bit = -DON_32BIT_MACHINE=true native.lin.cflags.append.64bit = -DON_32BIT_MACHINE=false -DON_64BIT On a Linux 32-bit machine, native.lin.cflags will have the following
appended to it: -DMY_APPEND_DEFINE -DON_32BIT_MACHINE=true and the following prepended to it: -DPREPEND_DEFINE |
|
- | CALC - The /NFORM switch has been added to allow output formats using any Java or Fortran format string. | |
- | CHECKEXPLAIN;UCL - Check explain files for all commands in specified option tree for missing arguments/parameters and switches. | |
- | COMPARE - The max/min/full scale for comparing two input files with byte data type and several others was updated to much that types actual max/min/full scale. To get old deprecated behavior, use the /LEGACYSCALE switch. | |
- | CONVERT - TAB2XML Will now add a .xml extension if no extension is specified. See Bug 1972 for details. | |
- | DATALIST - Added option to list the last N elements of the file (via a negative START). See explain file for details. | |
- | DEBUG - Added /SAVE and /LOAD switches which allow the current debug level to be stored and restored | |
- | FILE - DETACH function with optional /F and /D modifiers to create a detached BLUE header file. See explain file for details. | |
- | FILTER - Now accepts all TUNER parameters. See explain file for details. | |
- | FILES - FILES can now find files that are in directories with directory names that are upper-cased or mixed-case. See Bug 1691 for details. | |
- | GENERATE - Added /SKIP switch to skip specified step(s) when using JAR func. See explain file for details. | |
- | OPTION - All option trees under a specified path can be defined using the star "*" character as the name for the option tree. See explain file for details. | |
- | SHELLGUI - Added ability to CLEAR text in terminal via message or invoking public method. See explain file for details. | |
- | THIN - New /ADDRESSING= and /ADDR= switch to allow explictly using TimeLine / TIMECODE addressing. See explain file for details. | |
- | SWITCH - Switches now support SET and DEL functions. See SWITCH explain file for details. | |
Features | - | Added two new features, XLINE and YLINE, which function like HLINE and VLINE, except XLINE and YLINE will persist if the plot changes views. See FEATURE explain file for details. |
GCONTROL | - | ALL - Added ability to set tooltip via /tooltip switch (i.e. a custom popup text appears when mouse hovers over widget for a few seconds) when using Swing panels. When not using Swing panels, the tooltip text is appended to the title bar readout. |
- | ALL - Implemented 'home-made double buffering' to prevent flicker of GWidgets. | |
- | BEAN - Provides the ability to add a external control widget
to a panel as if it were a GControl. See User Guide -> Graphics -> Creating Custom Widgets and/or explain file for details. Also see nxm.ucl.libg.GDatePicker for a new Date/Time picker. |
|
- | CHOICE - Added ability to arrow up/down through items in choice list. | |
- | LINE - Added ability to Draws a horizontal line across the control panel, see explain file for details. | |
- | PROMPT - Added ability to create password prompts. | |
- | PROMPT - Added ability to limit characters from input text field. | |
- | PROMPT - Added flag to turn off warnings when limiting characters. | |
GWIDGET | - | The show method has been extended to support boolean values in addition to the existing 0 and 1. |
HTTPAUTH | - | New HTTPAUTH command and HttpAuthenticator library to support HTTP/HTTPS (basic, digest, etc.) authentication challenges for current JVM via pre-registered URL prefix/username/password, custom callback, and/or login prompt GUI. See the explain file for more details. |
HTTPSERV | - | The "Server" response header is now returned with "NeXtMidas/<nxm_version> Java/<jvm_version>" to help HTTP clients identity this HTTP server and software versions. |
- | A range of ports can be specified via the /PRANGE= switch to use pre-allocated port range for some firewalls. | |
Macro/Shell Enhancements | - | CONFIGURE - Added /WARN switch to allow disabling of warning messages. The PATH command uses configure, this switch can also be used on PATH which will get inherited by the CONFIGURE command. |
- | ENVIRONMENT - Ability to set I/O options to effect the current session.
See explain file for details. e.g. nM> env set IOOPTIONS +TruncateBLUE|+StrictHTTP|-DisableEscapeSequences
|
|
- | HOMEPATH - Prints newly set HomePath after setting to new value in interactive terminal (but not in macro unless /verbose switch is specified). | |
- | NEW - Java arrays can now be created. See explain file for details. e.g. nM> new int[] myArray {1,2,3}
|
|
- | PATH - /RERUN switch to re-run optstart.mm macros on current path, e.g. PATH/RERUN. | |
- | PATH - /SKIPRUN switch to skip running optstart.mm macros for new option trees added to the path. | |
- | PATH - Prints path after setting to new value in interactive terminal (but not in macro unless /verbose switch is specified). | |
- | SEDIT - The NFORM function now supports Fortran format strings. | |
- | SEDIT - The /FORCE switch can be used to overwrite results in a read-only table. | |
PLOT | - | Canvas - In NextMidas 2.9.2 / 2.9.3, a 'canvas' was added to allow users to draw some objects (lines, points, etc) directly onto an image that gets overlaid on the plot. This gives users more control of feature-type drawing and helps with performance. Note: The Canvas is subject to further enhancements which may change its usage, slightly. |
- | Crosshairs - Added ability for users to set the color of the crosshairs. | |
- | Cursor - Ability to set the PLOT cursor, e.g.
set reg.plot.cursor "WAIT"
|
|
- | Y Cut - Added ability to being up a Y Cut plot under the current mouse position by presing the letter 'Y' on keyboard. | |
- | UNZOOM - INFO field of UNZOOM message contains the zoom level (instead of always being 3 for the right mouse button number). | |
- | ZOOMTO= - Added the ability to bring up a plot already zoomed to a particular area. See plot explain file for details. | |
- | LayerKML - Added support for multiple NetwrkLinks and zoom to area around provided data. | |
Libraries | - | HttpResource - Support HTTP 1.0 servers and some HTTP 1.1 servers that do not
support the partial content (random access) reads via the "Range"
request header. Sets "User-Agent" HTTP request header to be
"NeXtMidas/<nxm_version> Java/<jvm_version>"
(e.g."NeXtMidas/2.9.0 Java/1.6.0") to help HTTP servers identity HTTP
client type. HttpResource - Ability to get HTTP response headers from server as a Table (with "STATUS_LINE" key for the first response header containing the servers HTTP version and response status code) via public Table getResponseHeaders() method.
|
- | Util - Added reverseArray(..) method to reverse the order of the elements in an array of Objects. | |
Java | - | New nxm.sys.lib.NeXtMidas - provides Java API to run NeXtMidas directly in Java
programs. Additionally, it also allows running NeXtMidas directly from the
nxm-sys.jar without having to source the NeXtMidas nmstart, nm scripts to be within
the standard Midas environment. See User's Guide -> Running NeXtMidas Independently for more info. |
ALL | - | A NeXtMidas installation built on a RHEL5 machine cannot run a RHEL4 machine.
It will crash when trying to load native code (with a SIGFPE). Workaround is to disable
native code via -DNONATIVE=true property, e.g. "setenv NM_USER_JVM_FLAGS -DNONATIVE=true ".
Another workaround is to build on the RHEL4, which can run on the RHEL5 machines.
See BUG 2330 NeXtMidas built with RH53 will not run on RH44 for more details.
|
- | On 2011-February-08, Oracle released a patch to correct Security Alert CVE-2010-4476 (Java Runtime Environment hangs when converting some floating point strings to a binary floating-point number). This vulnerability affects all (non-patched) versions of the Java Development Kit/Java Runtime Environment prior to version 6u24. Please correct this vulnerability on your system by running the Floating Point Updater patch, or, by upgrading to the latest Java Development Kit, version 6u24 or later release. | |
GCONTROL | - | Can not see cursor or highlighted text in text-entry widgets when using Java 5.0 on Linux (Java Bug 6287895). This is fixed in Java 6.0, please upgrade to Java 6.0 to avoid this issue. |
OS | - | There is a known Java bug (4052517) that prevents OS commands from being executed in Unix when the permissions are 750 and the user's default group does not match the group of the command. The result is either a "not found" or a "cannot execute" error. This bug is fixed in Java 6. (This bug can cause the NeXtMidas build to fail under Java 5 or Java 1.4.2 when gcc does not have 755 permissions.) |
PLOT | - | There is a rendering problem when PLOT is run from a Linux session inside VirtualPC on Windows XP. This appears to be a problem with graphics drivers in some versions of VirtualPC. We have been unable to duplicate the problem on a stand-alone installation of either Linux or Windows XP. |
SOURCEDG | - | SOURCEDG running on RedHat Enterprise Linux 4 (RHEL4) may encounter
BindExceptions and/or SocketTimeoutExceptions due to a bug in the
IPv6 stack on RHEL4 (see Java Bugs 6347853 and 6218155). You can
avoid this issue by forcing Java to use the IPv4 stack (just do a
"setenv NM_USER_JVM_FLAGS -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true " prior
to running nmstart). |
XBC | - | There is a known Java bug related to garbage collection (Java Bug 6268279 and related bugs) that can cause a core dump when making extremely frequent M$... calls from a host primitive (typically seen if polling a results parameter with little or no pause between calls). Upgrade to Java 5.0 to avoid this. |
- | Building static libraries with both the -fPIC and -i-static flag is still "experimental" in the Intel 9.1/10.x/11.x Fortran compiler (see thread 30222879 on the "Intel Software Network Forums" for details). In practice, this only appears to affect users on 64-bit systems. As a work-around only builds on 32-bit machines include the "-i-static" flags in "ifort.comp.append.32bit" and "ifort.link.append.32bit" properties in $NMROOT/nxm/sys/cfg/build.props. On 64-bit platform, the compiler will default to dynamically linking the Intel runtime libraries, so users will need to run with the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment set to include the Intel libraries installed location. | |
- | The Intel C/C++ prior to 11.1.059 (update 3) has a bug that causes the BUILD of C++ HOST primitives
that access the Mu pointer to fail with an error message like: "(0): internal error: 0_1561
... compilation aborted for $NMROOT/nxm/xbc/host/test_mu_okio.cc (code 4). ". The Intel compiler has a bug in compiling code that access a thread local storage constant pointer (which is the definition of the Mu pointer). See Intel issue DPD200138828 at http://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/intel-professional-edition-compilers-111-fixes-list/. GCC does not have this bug. To workaround this Intel compiler bug (by not making the Mu a const pointer), define _WORKAROUND_INTEL_COMPILER_ERROR_0_1561 in your build.props (e.g. "native.lin.cflags.append=-D_WORKAROUND_INTEL_COMPILER_ERROR_0_1561") or directly in the C++ source file. |
|
VNC | - | It has been noted by users that NeXtMidas will not function in a VNC session if the -depth option is set to 32. 32 is an invalid color depth, valid -depth option settings are 8, 16, and 24. We recommend the default -depth setting of 16. |
CALL | - | A SUBROUTINE does not have limited scope, scope is the same as procedure. |
CONVERT | - | Tables created by the XML2TBL function may appear to "drop entries" when dereferenced. Since XML2TBL is deprecated, this will not be fixed, use the XML2TAB in place of XML2TBL. |
GCONTROL | - | Some controls do not support headless mode. |
LIST2 | - | The table for a /LEGACY select message may contain "extra" fields. |
- | Row/cell selection is undefined when listing a pipe. | |
- | May need to use the /MOD switch when opening large files. | |
- | Type 2000 files with large frame size may not load properly. | |
- | CLICKACTION={COL=...} does not work properly (Bug 1352). | |
NeXtOpt | - | Changes in X-Midas 4.5.x prevent NeXtOpt from running. |
- | NeXtMidas commands run from inside an X-Midas macro (specifically when using PIPE or XPIPE) may exit prematurely. For example a NeXtMidas intrinsic run from the INITIALENTRY of a controls section can cause the pipe to stop prematurely. | |
- | May get warnings about problems mapping to the messages section if the X-Midas message queue is not up. | |
PLOT | - | A PLOT of a pipe on a hidden tab may discard data from the pipe while the tab is hidden (similar to use of the /NICE= switch). |
- | Timecode readout for large Type 2000 may give t=00:00:00. | |
XBC | - | XBC does not support running two copies of the same command simultaneously. |
